Accommodations
The interior of "Skeeter" is warm and inviting. The well appointment teak cabinets with the custom lounges, designed for both comfort and easy of access of stowed equipment, delivers a relax and friendly environment.
The forward location of the helm provides great visibility while not isolating the skipper from the activities in the salon.
A couple step down the companionway brings you to the galley on the starboard side and the 6 person settee to the port side. The "U" galley with its deep stainless steel double sinks, 4 burner stove/oven, Frigidaire refrigerator and abundance of storage makes meal preparation easy and safe.
Heading through the galley area you arrive at the beautiful main stateroom with built-in closets and drawers along the port side and a large queen pullman style bed on the other side. This leads into the master head and separate shower.
